Ocean and coastal ecosystems support life on Earth and many aspects of human well-being.
Covering two-thirds of the planet, the ocean hosts vast biodiversity and modulates the global …

Physiological studies contribute to a cause and effect understanding of ecological patterns
under climate change and identify the scope and limits of adaptation. Across most habitats …

Sound and effective policies, informed by reliable science, are needed to ensure
sustainable well-being of oceans and marine resources. Scientific publications often …

This chapter provides an overview of the main drivers of change in estuarine systems, their
expected causes and impacts on estuarine fish and fisheries. An analysis of global, regional …

Conflicting results remain on the impacts of climate change on marine organisms, hindering
our capacity to predict the future state of marine ecosystems. To account for species-specific …

In their study, Clark et al. 1 suggest that previous studies on the effects of elevated levels of
CO2 on the behaviour of coral reef fishes are not repeatable and that ocean acidification …

Ocean acidification—decreasing oceanic pH resulting from the uptake of excess
atmospheric CO2—has the potential to affect marine life in the future. Among the possible …

Ocean acidification (OA) is postulated to affect the physiology, behavior, and life‐history of
marine species, but potential for acclimation or adaptation to elevated pCO2 in wild …

Scenarios are central to fisheries and aquatic conservation research on climate change.
Scenarios project future greenhouse-gas emissions, which climate models translate into …
